    Remember Lot

    We are lights wherever we go. I got pumped alot over the fact that I joined a rugby league team. Look at them, they're a swearing, drinking mob. I was accused of trying to evangelise by joining them. Actually, I was just living life! I'm not playing rugby league for the express purpose of being...

    Is premartial sex a sin?

    When God created man, he gave him a sex drive, and exactly the same with woman. When used correctly, there is nothing wrong. Those things that God gave us are for our enjoyment. We MUST however, stay within the guidelines that he has set.

    Remember Lot

    I'm not saying I am righteous. I was using it as an example. Just because one person is righteous, it DOESN'T make you righteous! Lot was not a righteous man because his uncle was. Something to note is, his soul was called righteous.

    Where are the scriptures?

    Hang on a moment. I think that veteran has an excellent point. Just because you LOVE someone, doesn't mean you DON'T rebuke them. In fact, that is the sign of a good friend, one who can take hold of you when you have strayed and give you a knock on the ears! That said, there must be sufficient...

    Is premartial sex a sin?

    Hahaha. I thought someone was referring to me! Because in my email I only can read snippets, I thought, Boy, I never thought that I said someone tried to scare me or such! The truth is, I never had! lol. In case anyone is wondering, I only stumbled upon this topic by accident. There are no scare...

    Remember Lot

    No. Lot was not a little boy. Jesus won't say that my 40 year old son is righteous because I was righteous. Neither vice versa.

    Bible Alive 1

    The chains rattled on the cold stone. The fetters cut into his flesh. His world was dark. Where his eyes were suppose to be, were just hollow holes, devoid of light, unable to see. He rested his head on the cold stone wall. He was a failure. His people no longer had someone to stand up for...

    Remember Lot

    Yeah. I want every 'negative' point about Lot put down so we can offer the alternative. Some people might not think that there is an alternative, but there is. Here's one: Lot is occasionally shown as selfish because he chose the 'best' part of the land when Abraham offered him a choice.

    Remember Lot

    I really like your reasoning! Right on spot. There is alot of very interesting things about Lot, I just haven't had the time to put them up yet. I've read things from people who bag him and excuse his righteousness by saying he backslide. Some say the only reason he was saved was because Abraham...

    Death Penalty

    From the examples James gives, he is talking about the Ten Commandments. What he stated, is that if you don't commit adultery, yet you kill, you STILL have broken the law! Then he goes on to say that we should speak and act as those who WILL be judged by the law of liberty. As for the mercy and...

    Death Penalty

    For those who are not saved, they ARE STILL UNDER THE LAW! By saying murderers are being let go free, I am stating generally. I have read of far too many instances where there was a clear cut case against the person, who admitted in order for a deal to serve, in one example, eleven years in a...

    Death Penalty

    For some murderers I might. For some though, I would definitely rule the death penalty.

    Death Penalty

    Yeah, I guess we can look at it that way. There is a flip side to that, however. If the murderer is let go, and he kills someone else, who do you think is partially responsible? The person who should've given judgement is! A great Biblical example is that of David and his children. David loved...

    Is premartial sex a sin?

    Alright. I have now changed my conclusion.. Marriage is a commitment between a man and woman. Sex is what makes them one flesh, but is part of marriage. Therefore, to have sex before marriage is wrong, as sex is a part of marriage. My reasoning was a little warped. If two people have sex...

    Death Penalty

    We are not following the senses over this. As I can see in Scripture, the punishment for murder was death. Christian men in government put that into the constitution, and only recently, in the 'name of humanity' have most places stopped applying the death penalty because it's too 'harsh.' I find...

    What's Going On With The Catholic Church Iviting Paganism?

    The study that I have conducted, has indicated that the Catholic Church compromised in the early centuries to make themselves more popular. They brought in heathen practices to make it more appealing for the heathen. No doubt that's exactly what they are doing now. Compromising, since Jesus...

    Death Penalty

    There are two more points to consider here. One, How shall they that take the sword perish by the sword except someone else takes up a sword? Two, if that is the case, how is it that David was a man after God's own heart? Also, he never died by the sword. As for the 'one' scripture taken out...

    Death Penalty

    I know that I have rarely fully agreed with you, but in this case, you have done an excellent point by point answer which well backed with reasoning. There is a reason for why the punishment for murder was death. On that note, God still thinks the same as he did back then. Why all of a sudden...

    Walking Your Talk

    Played the last game of the rugby league season today. I've got a busted lip and two really sore teeth and a sprained finger. Got snapped 36 - 12. From a team that was the form team at the beginning of the comp, we have fallen a long way. Oh well, still have the finals. Hopefully we can rectify...

    What are God's laws now for?

    Sorry about that. It is related remotely. Drunkenness is an excess. Any excess becomes sin because it controls you. If something controls you, Jesus is no longer your Lord. Drinking wine, however, is not a sin.
